Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $3.00 and finished 4th last run around here. Should improve from the last run and has a good draw. Can measure up against these.

Was found wanting late when 3rd last time at the track and having second career run. Jockey Kazushi Kimura and trainer Jonathan Thomas are a combination worth following. Could feature here.

Odds of $6.00 and weakened to finish 10th last time around here. Can't leave out of your calculations.

At $9.00 chased well when 4th last time at the track but back to a shorter distance. Shows very good closing speed. Betting is the best guide.

Was $12.00 and advanced late into 4th last start at the track and having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Started at $14.00 and lost ground in the run home when 9th last run at this track but having second career run. Will be a challenge.

Nice run when 2nd last start here. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Could be in the mix.
